Does anyone know if there are any bait shops near the the Pymie causeway that open before 6:00 A.M. Looking at getting up there around 5:00 A.M. Either side will work PA or OH.

Most open at 5:30am best I can tell you.

There is a tournament at the causeway ramp tomorrow 5-18 The parking lot will  fill fast!!!!!

The tournament is for the entire lake, so they don't necessarily have to use the causeway ramp.  That being said, it was full today, and Linesville was just stupid!  I swear I wish the DMV had driving tests for anyone driving a vehicle that was going to tow a boat!!  If you can't back a boat into the water, you shouldn't be fishing!!!!

is it a bass tournament
 

no, walleye

will they just be using the causeway launch or the manning as well?
And what time does it start?

I cant seem to add a link. Just google pymatuning lake association

There are no restrictions for the walleye tournament as to which boat launch you use, except if you have a PA or Ohio License you must launch from the side your license is with. It will be busy all around. Tightlines

Yea thanks for all the info guys. May just wait till 6:30 to head out.
